Finding a successor for Eli Manning is a major priority for the Giants, and Dwayne Haskins gave fans something to dream about.

On Tuesday night, Haskins posted a photo of himself donning the Big Blue uniform, including a cryptic message that seemed to warn other teams about passing on him and allowing the Giants to draft the talented quarterback:

He also posted several similar images of him in the jersey of other teams with high draft picks to his Instagram story, including the Bengals, Buccaneers, Dolphins, Jaguars and Redskins.

Haskins declared for the upcoming draft after his lone season as the starting signal-caller at Ohio State. However, Haskins lit up college football this past season, setting school records with 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns through the air.

He is considered by many to be the top quarterback prospect this spring. He grew up in Highland Park, New Jersey before moving to Maryland to play high school football.

The Giants are currently slated to pick No. 6 in the upcoming draft, and Haskins was not shy about his affinity for Big Blue during his media availability before the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

"Big Giants fan, went to all of Amani Toomer's camps growing up. Tiki Barber, Eli Manning, Jeremy Shockey, Antonio Pierce, Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan - I can go on and on," Haskins said. "But, I definitely was a big Giants fan growing up. Loved watching them, and seeing Saquon [Barkley], how well he's playing, I'm close friends with him, known him since I was a sophomore in high school, and it's been really cool watching him playing."

The Giants have won eight games over the last two seasons, only tossing 40 total touchdowns in the process. His time as the team's starter is coming to an end soon, and Haskins seems excited to possibly take the torch.
